We need to have a wheeling schedule
We should pick a day or weekend a month to pick a trail and wheel it. Who ever shows great. Any ideals

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
Something like this has been kicked around for a long time. The main challenge has been manpower to keep it coordinated. You realize that the person who has the idea is automatically volunteered, right?

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
In all seriousness, this is a good idea. Would any of you be willing to step up and act as coordinator? I'm thinking 1 wheeling trip each month, maybe offset from the breakfast by 2 weeks?

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
I say we keep the breakfast on sat and make that same Sunday wheeling day. We can meet Sunday in route to trail at a breakfast spot.

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
Short notice wheelin' rarely works out.
And for me, it is really hard to get two week ends a month set aside for Bronco stuff.
I enjoy breakfast meetings when trails aren't accessable.
Other than that, I would much rather go wheeling and eat a burrito on the way to the trail
of course, the non-wheelers can keep enjoying breakfasts while we are breaking parts
when do we get started ?

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
Maybe we could pick a month per member, share the wealth so to speak. I'd volunteer to host one month easy.

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
Maybe we can add a calendar to the main page with the club breakfasts and club wheelin trips? Would make it easier to know the schedule without digging through threads.

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
I'm with Rox, wheeling is more fun and a breakfast burrito on the intake manifold still tastes darn good!
It's great to see this happening and i hope the interest continues!

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
I ran it on 35's with no problems that weren't related to a lack of EFI. The first obstacle is a little intimidating, but fun. I left my rear locker on for most of the trail and kicked my front one in for a couple of spots. Probably didn't need to, though.

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
The last time I ran it it was wet and pretty tough due to that. The turn uphill took a couple of attempts by me in my bronco and my uncle had to winch even locked front and rear on 35s. The Rock garden was a blast but the best lines were pretty much undoable due to the moisture. I guess my point is if it's wet, expect to winch on anything less than 35s and lockers.

Re: We need to have a wheeling schedule
It's a fun trail. The 1st obstacle is optional fyi. I would say 33" tires and a locker would really help. Like what was said above if it is wet it can go from a 5 to a 8+ really quick. It's a great trail that's close and has a lot of easy lines and hard lines. I have done it with no lockers and 35" tires before. Depending on melt off we should plan on a month after Moab to do a club run. Is anyone interested doing BV China man's before that. Or Indy alot of you could go in liberty and back out it
